When I was working in the Middle East I did a favour for the local Indian Businessmen's Association and the Indian Ambassador gave me a signed copy of a limited edition of this lovely book https://www.poncar.de/books.cfm?media_id=8 . The book is called Panorama of India and it contains many stunning panoramic photographs all taken by Jaroslav Poncar using the FT-2 camera. The photos belie their 35mm origins. Did you get the film cassettes with this one, Thomas ? They can be hard to find. William There have been 2 cassettes, obe origibal, the other not.

Pyrogallol Posted February 25, 2022 Share #623 Posted February 25, 2022 A few months ago I bought a Meyer Gorlitz 150mm f5.5 Tele-Megor, in uncoupled Leica screw fit. I liked the heavy chrome classic look. Now I have two more, a 180mm f5.5 and 250mm f5.5 in Exakta fit. Around the same time my local specialist dealer had an Exakta to Leica screw adaptor. So I am able to use them on a Leica body, scale focussing. Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted February 26, 2022 Share #625 Posted February 26, 2022 There is an FT-2 on sale on Fleabay today in the UK and I would have bought it but sadly no cassettes, so it is a non-user/static object only. I wonder how the results from the later Horizont from KMZ or the Lomography Horizon cameras, which both use a standard 35mm cassette, compare.

E-bay has two listings for cassettes from the same seller for about $50 each. I would characterize these cassettes as being in poor condition, but they could be refurbished. The seller is in Russia making the purchase risky at this time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contact Tim Goldsmith at Chiswick Auctions and he might be able to point you on the right direction. If an example with cassettes comes up, the price soars, particularly if the camera comes with its leather case. I have bid on them, but always dropped out. In my case, my bids were only out of curiosity because of the book which I got from the Indian Ambassador. The book is superb, Wilson, and, given your interest in India, I think you would really like it. It is also a scare book and usually goes for more than an FT-2, but it really shows what the camera is capable of. William Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

William William, I really have enough odd cameras, which need special cassettes, like 250 Reporter(KOOBF) and Combat Graflex (70mm Kodak). On talking to someone about these KT-2 cameras, the cassettes are apparently usually worn out and do not feed properly. He recommended the KMZ Horizont as a better user camera, even though its panorama is not quite as wide as the KT-2 and its appearance is not as exotic.

wlaidlaw Posted February 27, 2022 Share #630 Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) I believe the 70mm cassette was intended by Kodak, who developed it, to be the replacement for 120/220/620 film. Sadly the cameras that used the system (Hasselblad, Graflex, Maurer and a very few others) turned out to be rather bulky and the only serious use was by professional photographers for studio work with the Hasselblad V series cameras. The 70mm film worked better with high speed motor drives than 120 film did and one got 50 x 5.5cm x 6.5cm images on a roll, against 16 x 6.5 x 4.5cm or 12 x 6 x 6cm. The 70mm film's main use ended up being for aerial photography in specialist cameras. Wilson Edited February 27, 2022 by wlaidlaw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many types of cameras were "Made in Hungary" at the time (or ever). It has the MOM YMMAR 1:3.5/50mm lens attached. According to the documents available less than 1800 were made from 1958-1960 (Data compilation by Mr. Zoltan Fejer). Welcome, dear visitor!

Rick in CO Posted March 2, 2022 Share #637 Posted March 2, 2022 How about the smallest Linhof ever made, a 4.5x6cm Hochformat Camera marked "Val. Linhof" c.1916 and the largest Technika, the 18x24cm "Atelier Camera", c.1938. For size comparison, in between is a Leica Ia, c.1930. Welcome, dear visitor!

alan mcfall Posted March 4, 2022 Share #638 Posted March 4, 2022 A good friend gave me his Kodak cameras, as he knew I would take good care of them. A Retina Reflex III and a Retina IIc. They served him well last century. There is nothing special about them, but I found the way the leather cases blended into chrome strip trim at the base and cover, interesting. A stepped section allows the lever wind to work through the bottom of the case. I wonder what a Leitz case for a screw mount with motor or scnoo would look like with this attractive trim? I've ordered instruction manuals and will see how they work, then they will probably set in the display case until whatever comes up. Welcome, dear visitor!

nitroplait Posted March 10, 2022 Share #640 Posted March 10, 2022 Now more than 50 years after its introduction, the Olympus Trip 35 is still relevant as one of the greatest P&S cameras ever made. Its simplicity is inspiring. If I run a little cold considering exposure settings, selecting lenses and other photographic decisions etc. I just load my Trip 35 with a roll of 400 ISO film and snap away. Welcome, dear visitor!
